Princess Ping Hu also gave the mother and daughter another look under the quiet identification from the palace maids.
Her eyes were sharp.
As soon as she saw this seating arrangement, she knew that someone in the house had been bribed.
She had always boasted about being fair and did not want such things to happen under her own eyes.
A first rank official’s wife had been arranged behind a second rank official’s wife.
This kind of matter that disregarded seniority was just slapping her in the face.
It was just that they were at a banquet and in order to preserve the reputation of the princess’ residence, she could not lose her temper.
She could only wait until everyone had dispersed before pulling the servants out one by one and giving them a good beating.
As for the noble women and girls who seized this opportunity, in the future, they would be put into the list of those she would not befriend.

 

The princess was originally worried that Liang-shi and her daughter would have some resentment against her because of the seating arrangement.
However, seeing the mother and daughter sitting peacefully in the corner without any indignation in their eyes, she could not help but feel a little more fond of Liang-shi and Gu Yu Qi.
Knowing that this was her banquet, if the servants made such a mistake and if others really brought up the topic, it would be the princess’ residence that lost face.

Liang-shi had not thought that there would be so many complexities and she also did not know that her inadvertent actions had already gained the princess’ favour.
She was the same as Gu Yu Qi in that she was not very comfortable during this meal.
She felt that there were a lot of eyes focusing on her and Gu Yu Qi which made her feel uneasy, and she did not know what she had done wrong.

 

The mother and daughter had their own concerns and neither of them relaxed when they dined.
They just had small bites and sips and their behaviour caught the princess’ attention, which gained them quite a lot of points.

 

By the time they finally finished the meal, it was already afternoon and the cold wind had become milder under the warm winter sun.

 

Princess Ping Hu led the group of princes, noble women and girls in amajestically as they set out from the warm pavilion to walk along the paths within the plum blossom forest.

 

The scenery of the plum blossom forest was the same every year, but everyone animatedly sang lavish praises to Princess Ping Hu all the same.

 

They were all mature old foxes and naturally understood what Princess Ping Hu was thinking.
When people became old, they liked to be lively and be matchmakers… The three princes who were symbols of good conduct accompanied them and one of them was even the crown prince.
Which family would not be a little cautious? They could only hope that their own daughter could catch the princes’ attention and soar forward in the future by marrying into the imperial family.
Then they would really be wealthy.

The noble ladies had this thought and so did their daughters.
It was just that they could not flirt because of their identity and upbringing, but their eyes still floated to the three handsome princes from time to time and they compared in their hearts.

 

The crown prince behaved well and with his clear eyes and eyebrows, he was obviously the first choice.
Even if he already had a crown princess, it was still good to be the Lady of Virtue.
Perhaps in the future they could become a consort, or the noble consort.
The remaining fifth prince had always been good-natured, always smiling and no matter how they looked, he was a gentleman who was like jade.
The seventh prince was the best looking among the three, but he had a fierce aura which made strangers unable to approach.
He was not easy to get along with, and they could not withstand his eyebrows and eyes which seemed to be carved from ice and jade.
Although he was cold to the bones, he was extremely appealing.

 

Gu Yu Qi took small steps and followed her mother, covering herself with her mother’s body.

 

Even at a distance from Yun Ke, she could still feel the chill emanating from him which made the winter in the capital actually a bit colder.

 

Zhang Wan Yi walked in front, dignified and magnanimous.
Her appearance was not the most outstanding among the noble girls but her behaviour was impeccable.
Gu Yu Qi looked at her graceful back from a distance and sighed silently. 

 

Princess Ping Hu led everyone around and then invited the noble women to play cards in the warm pavilion.
Her intention was very clear.
She wanted to let the younger people relax.
This was the princess’ courtyard and no outsiders would enter, so the noble women could also relax.
As they went with Princess Ping Hu to the warm pavilion, they had to speak with their own daughters before leaving.
